DH106 Comet 1A F-BGNX Restoration

It was a very good opportunity to learn about British aviation history and very enjoyable for kids too. I will definitely recommend this museum. True that it could be better kept, but definitely worth it for the aviation enthusiast.

My son enjoyed himself particularly sitting in the planes and the guide in Hangar E was very informative and helpful.

You can see the aircraft being restored and interesting exhibits.

A truly great collection and friendly, enthusiastic volunteers.

It’s great to have largely unrestricted access throughout the museum and exhibits.

If you are interested in the history of aviation in the UK then this is an absolute must visit place. It follows the history of the Dr Havilland family’s passion for flying developing into manufacturing their own airplanes.

I loved being able to get really close to the exhibits.

I think this was the big attraction for me. To be able to peer inside the prototype Mosquito was a real treat as was being able to get very close to the other 2 Mossies they have. As other people have said there are a number of aircraft outside and exposed to the elements and slowly deteriorating but the Museum know this and are fundraising for another hangar.

I liked the Horsa Glider and ability to go into cockpits

Amazing seeing all the history and the workmanship that goes into the restoration of all the planes. It really is a hands on experience and the volunteers really make this place special. Definitely will return when the new hangar is finished.
